Facing Yang Qian's dissatisfaction, the two of them suddenly widened their eyes, opened their mouths, and their eye sockets instantly turned red.

The water tiger's eyes were filled with tears and his voice was choked with sobs.

"I am nearly fifty years old. I have no merit in my body and no place in my body. I only have the flesh on my back. I am mediocre, my days and months are wasted, and I am about to die. People like me have no chance of fame and fortune. "

"Your Majesty gave me the opportunity to be famous throughout history. I am a water tiger in a humble position. I am willing to be driven by Your Majesty and be loyal to Your Majesty in this life."

Shi Huacai also handed over and expressed his position.

Yang Gan shook his sleeves and was trembling in his heart. Yes, in his previous life, when he was forty or fifty years old, a man was still a flower. In this era, a man of forty or fifty already has one foot in the coffin.

He took a deep breath and said, "You two work hard. I will ask Xinhuo Academy to send a doctor to stay by the canal to take care of your health. It doesn't matter whether the canal is morning or evening. Your health is important, do you understand?" "

"Promise, I will obey your order."

After sending the two people away, Yang Gan walked around along the canal. Although he didn't understand water conservancy, he still had to look at it. After all, he had spent so much manpower, material and financial resources on it. Only by observing it would he feel confident.

The girls also began to look around, following Yang Gan. The most important thing was information. His tricks were endless, and new ones would pop up if he was not careful.

They also need to add new knowledge. Zhang Yumeng looked at Yang Qian suspiciously.

"Hey, what did you do in your last life? As soon as you spoke, those two old boys seemed to want to commit themselves to each other."

Yang Qian put his hands behind his back and smiled like an aunt.

"Tsk, don't ask about social affairs. Why are you always curious about my occupation? My current occupation is Yuntong County Sheriff and Zhenbei General."

Zhang Yumeng grabbed Yang Qian's arm and widened his eyes, "No, I'm so curious. I'll tell you everything, but you won't tell me anything. It's not fair."

"Alas, there is no fairness in this world, I..."

Zhang Yumeng interrupted Yang Gan rudely, "My aunt has told you everything, even her body belongs to you. What else do you want to do? Do you think that I am one of your own?"

"Okay, then I will be a bad guy from now on, and be the mistress of villains in TV series."

Zhang Yumeng's face was full of anger and she crossed her arms.

Yang Gan put his arms around her neck, and Zhang Yumeng was immediately pulled to bend over due to her height.

"You want to be the villain? How about that? I'm the villain, okay?"

"Then tell me, what did you do in your last life, and how could you win people's hearts like this?"

Yang Gan smiled and said, "I sell health care products."

Zhang Yumeng couldn't help but open her mouth. She seemed to know nothing about this industry and heard a lot of negative news.

Zhang Yumeng's eyes couldn't help but change when she looked at Yang Gan, "It turns out you are the ones defrauding the elderly of their money."

Yang Gan's face changed, and he defended, "No way, who is lying? As for health products, we don't want to be effective, but we want them to be harmless. First of all, serious health products are not harmful to people."

"Secondly, many elderly people who buy health care products actually don't have children around them. I didn't run a business before, and usually organized activities for the elderly. In fact, they are just too bored. They just find some peers to chat and play games. , it’s nothing more than recalling the turbulent years of those years.”

"Then how much is your monthly salary?"

"It's not much, tens of thousands of dollars, the highest I've gotten is seventy or eighty thousand."

Zhang Yumeng opened his mouth and said, "Damn it, even a brain surgeon who graduated from a regular school can't compare to you."

"Save it, your advertising fee is worth several years of my salary." Yang Gan gave her a look that made her laugh.

Zhang Yumeng suddenly remembered that Yang Qian once said that he bought a house with full payment. This is a house in Shanghai. If he just wins the lottery of 5 million, it may not be enough. It turns out that this kid is so good at making money.

"No wonder you are so good at winning people's hearts, you are such a talented person."

Yang Gan sneered and said, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by buying people's hearts? I just let others protect me. Is this considered buying people's hearts?" ωωw.

Zhang Yumeng said disdainfully, "Hey, this may be your specialty. It seems that you have a good understanding of people's hearts."

Yang Qian didn't say much. The most difficult thing in the world to calculate is the human heart. Even the stupidest person, no one can fully grasp his mind.

Pointing to the canal under construction, Yang Gan smiled and said, "You see, after the construction of this river is completed, our place will become the most important business area in the Central Plains."

"It's not that exaggerated."

"Do you know about the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal?"

"Nonsense, my history is poor, but who doesn't know about the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal? But at your scale, it seems that there is a big gap between it and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal."

Yang Gan laughed and said, "The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is about 1,800 kilometers long. It has played a huge role in the economic and cultural development and exchanges between the north and south of our country, especially the development of the industrial and agricultural economy in the areas along the line."

"Although my canal is not comparable to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, at least once these more than 100 miles are opened, it will be able to connect to the Chuanyun River. Then there will be more places connected. We have so many local specialties here, no matter how much we count, It’s about getting rich.”

Zhang Yumeng admired him and said, "When it comes to making money, you are better than me."

Yang Gan looked at the deep canal and rubbed his mouth happily, "Fortunately, I can make money, otherwise we would have to build canals, roads, and docks."

Suddenly Yang Qian clutched his chest in pain.

Zhang Yumeng hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?"

Yang Gan showed pain on his face and lightly hammered his chest. "It's nothing if you count one item alone. If you add it all together, it's hundreds of thousands of gold, hundreds of thousands of stone, food and grass. Oh, my heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys are all there." It hurts."

Zhang Yumeng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was suffering from an old injury, so he kept helping him caress his chest, "Okay, okay, just treat it as an investment. Anyway, you will make double the money in the future."

Yang Gan, who was in great pain, felt a little better.

Zhang Yumeng said curiously, "But you are too rich, with hundreds of thousands of gold, how many tons of gold is that?"

"Ha~~!"

Yang Gan smiled disdainfully and said, "You are overthinking it. Only a small part of it is gold pancakes and golden beans. The rest are silver and most of them are coins. How can there be so much gold? But there are still dozens of tons. It's just me." Without the right to mint coins, countless coins could be made from copper mines alone."

Suddenly, Yang Qian seemed to have thought of something and asked Zhang Yumeng.

"Our currency is not yet unified. Every country in the Central Plains has its own currency. Even a vassal state has more than one currency system. Some small countries actually have coins."

"Not only is the monetary system chaotic, but the quality of the coins is also uneven. Do you think it is possible to forge coins from a previous life that are not only wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant but also beautiful?"

Zhang Yumeng agreed, "Yes, there are also some knife-shaped coins. I have to convert them sometimes, which is very troublesome."

"It's hard to say which generation of coins you want to buy from the previous life."

Yang Gan asked curiously, "Isn't it different? I think they are almost the same."

"Nonsense, of course it's different. The first set of RMB still has one cent, two cents and five cents. How can it be the same?"

Yang Gan thought for a while and said, "That's good. What material is used in the latest version of the coin? It's very reflective."

Zhang Yumeng shrugged and said casually, "Generally, the steel core is nickel-plated, which is durable and shiny."

"What about the old fifty cents, the yellow and orange ones?"

"Of course the steel core is copper-plated, otherwise you would think it was all copper. It's a beautiful idea. Even in modern times, copper is very expensive."

Yang Qian frowned and stared at Zhang Yumeng closely until he felt her heart tremble before he slowly spoke.

"How do you know so clearly? You even know the price of copper."

"My aunt, I'm a futures player. I can recite the prices of pig iron, brass, gold, and silver from memory. Don't think that being a star is very profitable. Although I have people above me, I am a newcomer after all. Most of the money is paid by the economic company. Taken away."

When I think about paying taxes and being levied a huge sum by a brokerage company, even with Zhang Yumeng's income, I feel a twinge of pain in my heart. She is probably the only one in the entire entertainment industry who pays taxes on time.

"That's weird, what's your purpose of asking about currency all the time?" Zhang Yumeng was a little confused after thinking about it. Yang Qian had never been very concerned about this kind of thing.

Yang Gan smiled and said, "You have always thought that we have been a feudal society since the Qin Dynasty, right?"

"Didn't you say last time that we were a centralized society?"

"Actually, both the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty had some parallel systems of prefectures and states. Although there are not many Xia states now, there do exist some states, and some feudal lords with larger fiefdoms actually have the power to mint currency. "

Zhang Yumeng was stunned and immediately opened the money bag, only to see that there were indeed various forms of currency inside.

Speaking of coins, if we break them down, there are shell coins, knife coins, grimace coins, etc. There are many varieties.

Some are coins from the Liao State and the Monk State, and some are from the Xia State or even privately minted in the Xia State's prefectures.

In ancient times, there was no concept of inflation. In many cases, money was worthless because of inflation.

In particular, the Jiaozi of the Song Dynasty is not only the earliest banknote in China but also the earliest banknote in the history of the world. Due to poor considerations in various aspects, the limitations of the times, and the greed of the upper class, good banknotes have become A tool for making money.

Yang Qian was not that advanced, and the minting power had not yet been returned to the central government, so it was useless to think more.

Because no matter what currency you make, other inferior currencies are still used by people, but it can be put on the agenda. Using currency to invade other countries' economies can be considered, but it is too professional and Yang Qian does not know enough about this aspect. .

Zhang Yumeng was thinking about it and didn't see what Yang Gan was thinking about. From a professional perspective of minting currency, he was just more interested in the hard requirements.
